Please send my condolences to Myra and the family. Within any scheme there will always be hard edges, but please let me know if particular people are falling through the gaps and let me see what further we can do to support them through this difficult time.
Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con)
I add my tribute to the Minister, who came after a long line of Ministers who did not grasp this issue, but he certainly has. Following other points that have been made, may I seek clarity on those who have died? Will their estates benefit?
Paul Scully
Yes. In the same way as with the HSS, we can work with the estates to ensure that compensation is paid through them. That is my understanding.
